Henan ranks among the countries in the world, with the longest human history, and the food culture is naturally blooming.

Traveling to Henan and tasting the local specialties are what most tourists have to do. So, what are the specialties in Henan?

The following are the top 1 Henan specialties judged by the incompetent and semi-famous travel blogger "Lighting China". Although they are not authoritative, I think those "authoritative" judges are even worse.

among the top 1 delicacies, there are many places worth mentioning. If you don't understand the mystery, you may not taste authentic and delicious food.

friends who feel useful, please collect them!

Hu-la-tang is the only dish that is delicious and best reflects the characteristics of Henan.

Hu spicy soup is basically sold all over Henan, but it is not delicious in any one.

the Shaolin school of Hu spicy soup is the Hu spicy soup in Xiaoyao Town, Zhoukou County. Xiaoyao hot soup looks relatively bright and tastes spicy. Hu spicy soup shops in Xiaoyao town often offer several different grades of soup for diners to choose from. Last time I went, the most expensive "golden soup" was a bowl of 1 yuan.

Xiaoyao Town is the only school of Hu spicy soup with national influence, and it is well commercialized. Sometimes the signboard with the words "Xiaoyao Town" means that this store spends 1 yuan more than other stores (every year), which is really a symbol of strength!

The "wu-tang clan" of Hu La Tang is the Northern Dance Crossing, and its influence is limited to Henan Province. Beiwudu Hu spicy soup is thick and not too spicy, which is quite different from Xiaoyao Hu spicy soup.

In addition, Hunmukou Hu spicy soup and Kaifeng Su Hu spicy soup also have certain influence, but they can't compare with the above two schools.

if you drink soup in the origin of these schools, you can naturally drink delicious and authentic Hu spicy soup; But outside these places, it's a mixed bag.

The Hu-la-Tang shops in other places with signboards of Xiaoyao Town and Beiwudu are authentic, with foreign apprentices (they can't learn the authentic recipe, but they are ok), and with miscellaneous brands.

Therefore, the taste of Hu spicy soup in other places is uncertain. You'd better ask the local people.

if it's from a remote town, it probably doesn't taste good. The most terrible Hu spicy soup I have ever drunk was in a remote shop in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, and the signboard of Xiaoyao Town was also hung. Drinking his soup is like being tortured, bitter and spicy, and Hu spicy soup from other provinces is not so bad.

Huimian Noodles in Zhengzhou, which rose in recent decades, is not a traditional cuisine.

Huimian Noodles is delicious, the soup is fragrant, and the noodles are strong and economical.

people often say "Huimian Noodles in Zhengzhou", but it is more appropriate to say "Huimian Noodles in Henan". Huimian Noodles in Zhengzhou is really good, but you don't have to look for Zhengzhou to taste Huimian Noodles. The production technology of Huimian Noodles is not complicated, and Huimian Noodles stores in many places in Henan are doing well.

Huimian Noodles is different from Hu spicy soup. Tourists usually don't have to worry about eating bad Huimian Noodles. Because all the shops selling Huimian Noodles are regular stores, the boss is afraid to open a shop without two brushes.

Luoyang water mat, most people can't figure out what it is after eating it.

It is a kind of banquet, which is mainly made of various soups, so it is called water mat. Some people think that the name comes from eating one, and then withdrawing the next one, just like running water.

if you don't have a big mat, you can't fully appreciate the charm of the water mat. It is said that the water mat has 24 dishes, including 8 cold cuts, 4 big ones, 8 medium ones, 4 finale dishes, and not all of them are soup.

Some fast food restaurants also say "make water mats", but in fact they just make some soup.

kaifeng soup dumplings is thin-skinned, fleshy and juicy. It's really delicious.

I had breakfast in a shop in Kaifeng. I first ordered ordinary big steamed stuffed buns, one yuan each, which was particularly affordable. A small amount of food was enough. Then I saw that he still had soup packets and ordered another cage, only to find that there were not many cages, 8 yuan, which would be enough for one person.

So, although the soup dumplings are delicious, they are a little "exquisite", you know what I mean? When visiting Kaifeng, you should try it. But it's a bit extravagant when eating.

This is a famous dish in Daokou Town, hua county, Anyang City. It is well-known all over the country. I believe everyone has heard of it!

It is said that the method of making roast chicken at Daokou is inherited from the imperial chef in Qing Dynasty. Whether it's true or not, this roast chicken at the crossing is really unique and worth a taste.

Of course, the stores of Daokou roast chicken are everywhere, so you don't have to go to Daokou Town to eat Daokou roast chicken.

The traditional famous dish of Henan cuisine is carefully steamed from the larger carp in the Yellow River. Generally, only large-scale and high-grade restaurants do it.

personally, it is not the fish that is delicious, but the level of the cook. Of course, people who can cook this dish are usually not ordinary people.

This is a local food in Xuchang, which was originally famous only in the local area. Later, because of the hot news, it suddenly became a national famous online celebrity cuisine.

to eat authentic Wang Luo trotters, you usually have to go to Wang Luo Town, Xiangcheng County, Xuchang, the birthplace of this dish. However, the surrounding areas, such as Xiangxian County, Yuzhou City and Xuchang City, now have shops for sale, and they are usually authentic.

The braised trotters in Xiangxian are complicated in process and exquisite in materials. The prepared trotters are bright in color, fragrant, soft and rotten in taste, which makes people have an appetite.

Braised pig's trotters were originally cooked by many chefs, but what they cooked was not as good as braised pig's trotters in Xiangxian, which had an exclusive secret recipe. This is my insight from long-term practice.

chowder is a daily dish of ordinary farmers. Made by ordinary farmers, the craft is limited, the materials are limited, and the taste is average.

Most professional chefs can also cook. Whenever there is a need to entertain many diners, rural chefs usually cook chowder. What they cook tastes much better.

In Henan, there are some well-known braised dishes with local characteristics, among which Lushan Languo Cuisine and Yuzhou Miscellaneous Pot are the best.

Lushan languo dish is made of pork, vermicelli, Chinese cabbage, bracken, fried tofu shreds and other materials. It tastes salty and delicious, and the large pieces of meat are very enjoyable. The menu price is between 15~2 yuan, which is quite affordable. In addition to Lushan, there are many operators in nearby counties and cities.

Yuzhou miscellaneous creeks are the most famous in Shundian Town, Yuzhou City. Although it is also a braised dish, its flavor is quite different from that of a pot dish, with more soup, which is between "dish" and "soup". It is based on beef offal, supplemented by vermicelli, fried tofu strips and other ingredients, rich in flavor, a bowl of red, looks quite appetizing

mutton soup can be made in many places in Henan.

I have traveled to many places and tasted mutton soup in many places. What I admire most is Zhangdi mutton soup in Xuchang, Henan, which is not only the best in taste, but also more affordable.

It should be noted that to taste Zhangdi mutton soup, you must choose Qiangguo mutton soup. This kind of mutton soup is very unique, that is, the mutton slices are fried in the pot first, and then rushed into the broth.

This kind of wok mutton soup tastes much better than mutton soup. These mutton soup shops generally also provide soup, and the taste is not special. It is not recommended that you choose.

the disadvantage of the mutton soup in a wok is that it is fried once and served slowly. If there is a rush hour, you may have to wait for a long time. But believe me, it's worth the wait.

It is well known that beef is delicious.

There are famous cooked beef in many places in Henan. In most places where Hui people live in compact communities, cooked beef is produced locally, some are famous, some are small, and the taste is not bad.

As far as I know, Zhoukou Taikang's Matou beef, Pingdingshan Sanlangmiao beef and Luohe Fancheng beef are the most famous. My knowledge is limited, and I am afraid I have missed something. Welcome friends to comment and add.

The above are the top 1 local famous foods in Henan certified by "Lighting China".
